December 9Dec 9 The world is funny. People are hyper critical of Sark for OTA style spring practice and not enough full contact stuff while falling over how great a coach Cig is at Indiana. Indiana does hardly any full contact practices and only practices about 6 hours a week. My high school football team practiced more then that. Its fairly hilarious. I would say this works better for more mature, experienced teams. Younger, raw talent needs all the reps and practice they can get.

December 9Dec 9 I'm not saying Sark was right or wrong on the OTAs thing. It's just hillarious to see posters who are hyper critical of Sark for his practice style fall all over Cignetti and how we should hire him....when he is even less contact than Sark. It harkens back to the same mentallity of getting excited about the blocking sled coming back when Mack hired....whomever it was he hired and people lost their minds that physical toughness was returning to the program..... Miles Price was talking about his time at Indiana and how he only hit the ground like twice in practice. He also compared it to his time at Tech and Mcguire apparently had them do some weird drill where they jumped in a pool at 5 am and had to stay underwater and take off their cotton sweat shirt and exchange it with their partenr's and put it on while staying underwater.....Thats some weird Tom Herman stuff. Cig doesn't follow the Saban process apparently because he found it wears your team out too much practicing like Saban did. He's much more about mental than physical in his practices. "So Cignetti put his own spin on The Process: Drill to the point of proficiency, and not a second more. “I just believe in keeping people fresh and healthy,” Cignetti said. “The better people feel physically, the better they feel mentally, too.”"

He said in an interview a few months back that he doesn't like staff members staying late in the office or pulling all-nighters watching film. Said they get in, do their work and go home to their families. Also said he doesn't believe in having a GM. Edited December 9Dec 9 by Hookem2147

He's much more about mental than physical in his practices. I only watched them against OSU and part of the Oregon game and their mental prep showed. IU may not have the best athletes, but they know where they're supposed to be and what they're supposed to do. Meanwhile, Arch is hoping that only one OL misses his assignment per play, DBs are thoroughly confused by bunch formations; etc. A little more mental prep would do some good.

December 9Dec 9 I genuinely don't even know who we'd want at the spot right now unless Samples is desperate to come back. Frank Wilson is out there but their backs were pretty mediocre.

"Cignettis is best coach why texas no hire!?" ignoring that literally noother progam would have hired him also, the dude had to go to fucking Indiana

December 9Dec 9 Maybe fire the clown the put together the shitty oline that our rb had to run through? I dunno just a thought.

December 9Dec 9 5 minutes ago, kevwun said: Choice's talent evaluation ain't exactly looking great right now either. Choice is a good coach, this board is just unreasonable. Clark and Baxter had catastrophic knee injuries. And he was gone before Simon and Stewart ever showed up.
December 9Dec 9 Popular Post Oh good, we've reached the point in the point in the calendar every offseason where Anwar Richardson slobs Rashaad Samples for any opening we have. They must be really good friends or something.
December 9Dec 9 I don't think Stewart would have worked out regardless. Gibson was another miss. There's some bad injury luck involved, but he didn't leave us with a single complete running back.
December 9Dec 9 Chad Scott Out as Texas RB Coach | 4:18 p.m. Tuesday By CJ Vogel 23 minutes ago Steve Sarkisian will be in the market for a new running backs coach. Chad Scott is out as the Longhorns RB coach OTF can confirm – Football Scoop was the first to report. Scott was hired by Steve Sarkisian on February 19, 2025 and his tenure ends only ten months in. The Texas running back room was rather lackluster for a number of reasons in 2025, and as the team looks to reset its room in 2026, they will be looking for a new coach to command the room.
December 9Dec 9 Whatever happened in the offseason that hid the issues on OL is what needs to be fixed. Outside of that I don’t give a fuck how it’s ran.

Yeah, I didn't care for Scott at all, but blaming only him for the running game, and not Kyle Flood, would in fact be pretty stupid. Hopefully something is in the works there too.

December 9Dec 9 I heard several months back that Scott didn't may have many fans in the RB room and he didn't do a great job of establishing relationships with the existing players.
December 9Dec 9 Flood is my #1 target to replace. 4 years for this OL shit? His recruiting is beyond terrible and keeps getting worse. #2 is Akina - just a bad fit. #3 would be Milwee but I've been told that's a no-go. Wtf does he even do or look like? No idea on WR or RB tbh. RB we're using a scatback as an all purpose back. WR - they don't seem to develop like other high rated prospects do.

I just feel like we don’t have WR that makes places but when you look at that High school tape they did. is no one getting developed?

The RB room may not have been that great but they’d run through a brick wall for him. The way Baxter ran under choice was different that’s why Saban called him the best Freshman RB they played all year and so was Wisner
